Overshoe advice

[Kestevan]

I've just been lucky enough to get a pair of Sidi Hydro boots for my birthday.

First time commute in them this morning, and despite it lashing it down, and lots of standing water I arrived at work with lovely warm, dry feet.

Admittedly bloody expensive, but I really hate cold wet feet, and I'll probably be wearing them for every ride between now and spring.

Martin and I are cycling from London to Whitstable starting at midnight tonight. How about you?

and back for me!

Although I have to say that whatever I wear tonight, I'm going to get wet!!!

What stops the water running down your legs and into the tops?

Simples goretex pro paclite overshoes. I've never had cold or wet feet since getting these, I have matching mittens as well, awesome stuff.

Top of the boot fastens fairly snugly round the ankle withn a velcro band, My longs go on the outside of this and the water seems not to get in. I'm sure that there will bo some leakage on long very wet rides, but so fat so good. They're also lovely and warm and so-far at leastthe gore tex upper seems to allow sweat to evaporate much more that the neoprene overshoes I've been using for the last few winters.

I had dry feet on a 10 mile commute in the rain, using new Pro Endure H2O overshoes from Wiggle. Easy to get on once I worked out to put them on my legs before putting the shoes on, too.

Omg I never thought of doing that! *feels stupid*
